If I am not mistaken, the Radiologist job is not necessarily to diagnose, but to provide information of what he reads to the Neurologist who then has the responsibility and authority to actually diagnose based on the MRI.
In addition, I would suspect you must have other symptoms and signs of MS other than just an MRI to support an MS diagnosis as many people are given a confirmed diagnosis of MS with a clean MRI.
If it were me, and I have come not to trust medicine or neurologists after 10 years, I would go with what the neurologist diagnosis. JMHO

Oh yea...I got sx that just go on n on-demylineating lesions(over 18) at last count-now too numerous to count-small brain tumor, skull thickening, brain atrophy advanced for someone my age, frontal lobe seizures that radiated in a pattern of encephalitis that centralize in autonomic system area or something to that affect-I lose total body proprioception, have +4 hematuria of kidneys, blindnessattacks, blurred vision, dbl vertical vision, body paralysis due metabolic whatever, lung disease(minor), now loss of bladder/bowel sensations. Basically, since Graves Disease in 80's after 8 years Docs found out my body reacts to levothyroxin as if it is a poison and so my immune system goes into attack mode. So I have a high toxicity to Synthroid which I cant live without...so....now I also have lupu, MG occular and general, and major MS symptoms. Very complicated especially when you add on the DID diagnosis. Ok craig, what;s the DID!!!??? If you guess it right, I'll confess.
